Description
Our “Get Organized” workshop was developed and honed through coaching hundreds of business people on how to be more effective with one of their most important commodities – time
Paradoxically, poor organizational habits are often encouraged by the same technology that was designed to make us more effective: it is not uncommon for people to spend most of their days swamped with e-mail, meeting requests and piles of paper around the office. This typically results in a reduced ability to get work done (particularly strategic work), coupled with high levels of stress and even burnout.
This course will help participants develop superior organizational skills by providing a simple, yet effective workflow system that is integrated with standard tools and technology such as Microsoft Outlook.
